That thing would have to # be more than just a basic type, because the basic types # are either containers which don't know about their # contents, or they are single objects which can't capture # their relationship with their fellows of the same type. # So, this thing with the extra knowledge should be # reified into a class, and the utility method will most # likely belong there. # # If the method does refer to self, but refers to some other object more, # +FeatureEnvy+ is reported instead. # # See {file:docs/Utility-Function.md} for details. # @api private class UtilityFunction < SmellDetector def self.smell_category 'LowCohesion' end class << self def contexts # :nodoc: [:def] end end # # Checks whether the given +method+ is a utility function. # # @return [Array] # def examine_context(method_ctx) return [] if method_ctx.singleton_method? return [] if method_ctx.num_statements == 0 return [] if method_ctx.references_self? return [] if num_helper_methods(method_ctx).zero?
